Uncle got caught

08/07/2006

According to our information, former NA speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan’s uncle, head of the Yerevan Kanaker-Zeitun state cadastre, Sargis Baghdasaryan got caught by police for violations. The problem is that a large share of citizens’ payments for land privatization has not been transferred to the state budget. According to our information, S. Baghdasaryan and his deputy have resigned from their positions. Besides that, 4-5 other cadastre officers were arrested as well. According to our sources, S. Baghdasaryan has been released but legal proceedings are underway. “168 Hours” tried to get information from “Rule of Law” representative Mher Shahgeldyan, but he didn’t answer our calls.
